Psalm 93:3
“The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 93Meaning
The repeated image intensifies the sense of chaos and threat. In biblical poetry, turbulent waters can evoke untamed forces without requiring a literal prediction of a specific storm or disaster.
Mightier than the roaring waters
Chaotic waters rise in force, but the LORD on high is mightier.
Read carefully
They function as poetic imagery for overwhelming and chaotic power in the psalm.
Reflection
Name the turmoil honestly rather than pretending it is insignificant.
